Answer:
length: 12 ft
area: 72 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the mat in feet. Then L/2 is the width and the perimeter is ...
P = 36 = 2(L +L/2) = 3L . . . . . substitute the given information and simplify
12 = L . . . . . . divide by 3
The length of the mat is 12 ft.
__
The width of the mat is L/2 = 6 ft, and the area is the product of length and width.
Area = (12 ft)(6 ft) = 72 ft^2
The area of the mat is 72 square feet.
23 is less than 25 which means it's closer to 20, so you would round it down to 20. 1.75 is over 0.50, 1/2, so you would round it up to 2. If you multiply 2 and 20 you would get 40.
Number two gets the same explanation just with different numbers.
1 : 40 = 6 : 240
On the ground the fence would be 240 inches long
240 / 12 = 20 feet long fnce
Answer:
$31.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the 6% tax is separate from the $30, we can use this equation:
Total = Cost + Tax (pretty self explanatory)
Method 1
Total = $30 + (6% * $30)
Total = $30 + $1.8
Total = $31.8
Method 2
Total = $30 * 1.06 (The 1 is the original cost, the .06 is the 6% tax)
Total = $31.8
